An Elusive Development of 'Short o' in Early American English
tN LANGxJAGE study, as in most human affairs, the less spectacular devel1 opment is overshadowed by the more spectacular. The EMnE. long vowels, picturesque but comparatively simple in their line of development, have received far more attention than the corresponding short vowels; and among the short vowels it is the genesis of 'broad a' rather than the hidden changes of 'short i' and the correlations between u and o that has proved most alluring…
The Historical Status of Modern English [I]
[The historical status of MnE [i] is problematical. On presumptive and orthoepistical grounds, most authorities believe the sound was always [i]; some, notably Luick and Sweet, that an original [i], first partly lowered to [i] in late ME, was completely lowered in EMnE. Spelling and rhyme evidence, here first cited, demonstrates the retention of the stage [i], on occasion, until circa 1800. The uniform [i] of MnE seems to be due to the phonologiz…
The Quality of the Front Reduction Vowel in Early American English
o X fiHE problem of the English unstressed vowels is both difficult and 1 elusive. True, we already possess a firm foundation of knowledge. We know, for instance, that the two modern types [a] and [I] were established comparatively early,l possibly side by side with a type [E1] which may or may not be represented by Received Standard British [81];2 we know that the eighteenth century distribution of unstressed endings-or even the stress-patterns …

I intended a short, inoffensive article on ME ū , devoted chiefly to the Early American au -spellings. The present monograph has grown out of unavailing struggles to retain my original intention and the accepted phonological theory in face of the recalcitrant rhymes and spellings of Professor Miles L. Hanley's Wisconsin Collection. Various extended analyses of minor factors that figure largely in the following pages were needed, in the first plac…
